Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Blessed

Aprovechamos el fallecimiento de una de las grandes estrellas de la televisión internacional: Richard Chamberlain, Juan Luis Álvarez habla de su gran éxito El pájaro espino, y de otros clásicos que paralizaron el país en su momento:Yo, Claudio y Luz de luna. Son Enseriados legendarios. El pájaro espino (1 temporada, 4 episodios) Miniserie de 4 episodios, basada en la novela de Colleen McCullough. Famosa miniserie ambientada en Australia y centrada en la tortuosa vida del cura católico Ralph de Bricassart (Richard Chamberlain), un ambicioso sacerdote con el corazón dividido entre el amor a Dios y al sacerdocio, y el amor terrenal y pasional por la bella e inocente Meggie Carson (Rachel Ward). Chamberlain triunfó en esta serie y en otras tan populares como Shogun y Doctor Kildare Lo mejor: El reparto de viejas glorias con una espléndida Bárbar Stanwyck a la cabeza. Lo peor: La descafeinada continuación "Los años perdidos". Trailer Yo, Claudio (Fimin, 1 temporada, 10 episodios) La serpiente / Lujuria / Traiciones / Nasty dinasty / Yo, Tiberio Claudio César Augusto Germánico… Miniserie de TV de 13 episodios. Claudio, Emperador de Roma, viendo aproximarse el final de su vida, decide escribir la historia de su familia (dinastía julio-claudia) desde el año 50 a.C. al 50 d.C. La Sibila ha profetizado que esta historia llegará a la posteridad. Adaptación del texto del célebre escritor e historiador Robert Graves, y que presenta, con finas dosis de humor y un toque de inocencia, al emperador Claudio y su visión de aquellos turbulentos años en los que sobrevivir era un milagro, salvo que te tomara por tonto e inofensivo... Lo mejor: El reparto. Derek Jacobi, Brian Blessed, Sian Phillips, John Hurt... Lo peor: Que se grabó en video y su conservación es compleja... Trailer Luz de luna (Fimin, 66 episodios, 5 temporadas) La serie gira alrededor de los casos investigados por una agencia de detectives Luna Azul al frente de la cual están Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes (Cybill Shepherd), antigua modelo y David Addison (Bruce Willis), de profesión : vago. La serie cuenta con una mezcla de misterio, diálogos agudos y una tensión sexual entre sus dos protagonistas. El hilo argumental comienza con un revés de la suerte para la ex modelo, Hayes, que se encuentra arruinada después de que su contable desfalque todos sus activos líquidos. Se queda con varios negocios fallidos que se mantenían como tapaderas para la evasión de impuestos, uno de las cuales es la agencia de detectives en la ciudad de Los Ángeles y al frente de la cual se encuentra el despreocupado David Addison. Lo mejor: La química entre Willis y Sheperd, por más que se odiaran en la vida real. Lo peor: Que se la pueda considerar un trabajo menor, cuando fue pionera en su género junto con Remington Steele.

After watching some times Star Trek delved into Cosmic Horror, Miles might have told Charlie ‘Oh, this stuff is tame, let's watch Space 1999' instead. So, for this episode, we are now rebranding as #spacescamps as we talk about the greatest collection of space adventuring office workers Moonbase Alpha has to offer in Gerry Anderson's Space 1999. After we briefly gloss over the opening episode ‘Breakaway,' we discuss Brian Blessed being out-hammed by the amazingly named JOHN SHRAPNEL in ‘Death's Other Dominion' (27:36), things get a bit tentacle monster in ‘Dragon's Domain' (40:26), watch some amazing class politics and screams of ‘MUUUUUUUTANT' in ‘Mission of the Darians,' (51:57) and bring it all to a close in ‘End of Eternity' (01:01:09) as we meet a crazed immortal psychopath, which, if you watch the previous episode just come to the conclusion that this happens a lot in Space 1999, it's not Star Trek, but it's a hell of a lot of fun! Launch All Eagles! Stop being weird! Talking Points Include: A FUCKING NUCLEAR EXPLOSION ON THE MOON. Balataro, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the 2016 Ghostbusters film is fun, The Mad Max movies, Date Movies, Miles ruining ‘The Day After Tomorrow' for the person in front of him (EDITOR NOTE: While Ian Holm is the British actor in question, he doesn't deliver the final toast to Manchester United in the scene, that's actually Richard McMillan) What is Space 1999? Supermarionation, Gerry Anderson, The Elevator Pitch, the Earth is fucked, Christopher Lee in an episode we did not watch, Space 1999's budget is akin to bullying 1970s Doctor Who for it's lunch money, the cast of Space 1999 are not qualified space heroes, Koenig is far more Office Boss than Space Cowboy, it's nice to have our characters called Nick and Paul and Adamn, but it does make it hard to distinguish, Charlie's notes are sometimes as complex as ‘man wearing neck-tie… evil?', Peter Wyngarde, BRIAN BLESSED, JOHN SHRAPNEL, Grant Morrison comics we wouldn't reread, asbestos everywhere, Brian's fate in this episode, Michael Sheard (Who actually plays Ozzel in Empire Strikes Back) some good horror beats that devolve straight into Garth Marenghi's Darkplace-esque shenanigans, they'll never meet anyone nice, Charlie has started watching ‘Sapphire and Steel,' ‘it's a metaphor for capitalism,' Barbaria Bain's leg envy re: Joan Collins, Koenig's ever continual frustration at the inability of people to simply be normal in space, more on Dave, Charlie's former (and sketchy) employer, Immortal Hellraiser BS, Victory through OSHA violations, Long Recapping of DC' Comics Legion Lost, is this the first time Miles has done his Werner Herzog impression? Charlie mentions the roleplaying game ‘Mothership' about ten times throughout the episode, did Charlie like it? Would Star Trek Phase II have been like this? UFO, Miles recorded the second part of the Breakfast in the Ruins episode of ‘The Coming of the Terraphiles' and GUESS WHAT It's going to be a Three Parter!

Met with ambivalence by most, genuine revulsion by others upon its initial release in the summer of 1999, the film (and the prequel trilogy more broadly) have seen a continued reappraisal, especially in the era of so many soulless Disney-era Star Wars productions. The Phantom Menace is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary with a recent limited re-release on IMAX screens. On this episode, we make a case for the film not just as comparatively good, but a genuinely excellent entry in the Star Wars canon.We discuss the film's place within the the decade-spanning saga as well as its position within the film landscape of the era - how it pushed the boundaries of digital effects integration, and signaled (in non-alarmist terms) an evolving style of blockbuster filmmaking. Then, we talk about the film's narrative highs and lows, and share our thoughts on the critical points of 25 years of criticism: Midi-chlorians, Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd, Watto and more. Finally, we praise the film's many incredible formal qualities - its relationship to Lucas's early student films visual experiements, The Phantom Menace's debt to classic cinema greats like Kurosawa and Douglas Sirk, and the brilliance of the film's multi-phase finale, cross-cutting between four different theaters of action seamlessly.Follow Neil Bahadur on Twitter and LetterboxdWatch 'The Beginning: Making Start Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace'Watch '1:42:08 To Qualify', George Lucas's 1966 short film....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

#493 Weed Charades - Richard's kids are unimpressed by his appearance on Top of the Pops 95 and provide a scathing critique of his work. His guest is a man with 8 mind-blowing facts about himself, Ross Noble (though an audience member called Kirsty also stars). They talk mainly about frozen things, Ben or Jerry's funeral, Rod Hull in a freezer and being buried in an ice rink, but also some fantastic stories about appearing on the Australian Apprentice, blowing up a woman, selling cursed sand and responding to Lord Sugartits in the board room. Also some amazing news about Brian Blessed and the birth of a brand new game show, that might not entirely work in audio format (or might be much much better). Buy Ross' specials here - https://stream.rossnoble.com/See RHLSTP on tour- http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSee Rich's stand-up tour Can I Have My Ball Back - https://richardherring.com/ballback/SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

Nearly 3 years ago we began the project of restarting our podcast after a 12-year hiatus.  We were a bit rusty at first, we had some crappy audio and it took a while to get back into our groove. But, to commemorate the event we thought we'd present all you loyal Dispatchers with our first episode...with slightly improved audio!You're welcome.Embark on a high-velocity tour through the galaxy of geek culture!We'll share the untold tales of Brian Blessed's boisterous portrayal of Vultan and how Flash Gordon charmingly outmaneuvered Indiana Jones across the pond, with a royal nod from Queen Elizabeth II herself. It's an intergalactic mashup of culture that will have you laughing and longing for a time when sci-fi was as much about fun as it was about the future. Strap in, listeners—this episode is all about celebrating the chaotic charm that is Flash Gordon.

Biff also provides insight about his close friendship with iconic British Acor, Brian Blessed who guested on the album, talks in depth about the Amon Amarth “Saxons & Vikings” video shoot, & discloses the bands' appreciation for Heavy Metal “Battle Jackets”. And of course, he provides a preview of what to expect for their Spring 2024 US tour with Uriah Heep.   Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth anecdotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.

#484 Giraffe in a Headlock - Richard is back at the Stand in Newcastle and in the week that the Northumberland Sycamore was cruelly cuts down, dare he risk making an allusion? His guest is legendary stand-up and TV writer, Jason Cook. Rich might be getting a bit tired from touring, but it doesn't really matter, as we have a story-teller topped only by Brian Blessed for loquaciousness. Jason talks about being a tiny chef in some biscuit ads and going through airport security covered in flour, working as a merchant seaman and the unlikely zoo based stories of one of his crewmates, representing Germany in the World Stands Up, inventing the dead dad stand up genre, getting Rich very drunk to do stand up, being a Celebrity Mastermind stand-in, Hebburn and the Murder, They Hope series and is this the week for him to dress up as a tree in his monthly comedy club?See RHLSTP on tour- http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSee Rich's stand-up tour Can I Have My Ball Back - https://richardherring.com/ballback/SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

PART 2 of a compilation of Karl's pseudo-educational feature, EDUCATING RICKY, which is a play on words based on the film, Educating Rita. Karl brings in a few ridiculous topics each week and teases his co-hosts, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, with catchy headlines meant to sum up the topic, usually in the form of a stupid pun. Karl typically reads out the headlines, and lets Ricky and Steve react to them. After Karl is reprimanded for his idiocy, a topic is chosen and Karl proceeds to expound on it in a comical manner. Ricky usually cackles wildly and/or becomes enraged by the utter inanity and falsity of Karl's bogus story. At the end of each "educational" session, Ricky and Steve are exasperated by the fact that they have no idea what Karl has just tried to teach them.

Twitch of Fun is back and there are no children spoiling (improving) it. It's just Ally Darling and Richy Sweetie and the Birthday Donkey and the death throes of a wasp. The pair talk about celebrity deaths, Dutch Pancakes, lying liars, why men should wash their hands after going to the toilet, whether Elon Musk should rename Twitter again and Eric Idle's greatest song. There's a poignant fairytale and an Australian who doesn't understand the seasons. Back on rollicking form.

RETRO RHLSTP #65 - Brian Blessed and the Big FootIt's the final episode of series 10 of RHLSTP and Rich meets a bearded man who has managed to find a partner (find out how he did it nerds). His guest is the laid-back and yet also intense (and rather beautiful) Peter Serafinowicz. They talk about how it's almost impossible to parody the new President of the United States, but the effective way that Peter managed it and his fears and plans should there be repercussions from the thin-skinned bellend. Also lots of chats about the two Brian Bs (Blessed and Butterfield) and how a stellar cast does not always lead to a commission. Plus behind the scenes at Guardians of the Galaxy and Parks and Recreation and the Pudsey the Dog movie. Incredibly Adam Sandler's “The Cobbler” and the strange ego of Mr Tumble come up without Richard even mentioning them.

“The story of forbidden love between a bee and a human woman” The panel of peril bleach their hair, pump some iron, and get harangued onto a space rocket heading for the distant planet of Mongo! Fortunately, the in-flight movie is Flash Gordon (Mike Hodges, 1980), so there's that. Flash (Sam Jones) has it all: hair, muscles, tight t-shart – but when he and erstwhile companion Dale (Melody Anderson) are whisked away and confronted by Ming The Merciless (Max Von Sydow), no amount of muscle tees can save him. Deciding to destroy planet Earth on a mere whim, Ming is the kind of tyrant who demands loyalty from all of his subjects, be they bird men (Brian Blessed) or Errol Flynn types (Timothy Dalton). Can Flash do stuff to stop the thing?! Likely so, yes. Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6uOHnxf85g ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** All Flash has to do to stop the untimely destruction of our byowtiful home planet is unite the warring tribes of Mongo, and break the hold that Ming has over his populace. Should be easy right? WRONG! It will be very, very DIFFICULT because they DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER! Ha, ha, just like the wars that happen upon our beyoomtiful home planet, amirite? In all seriousness though, he's got his work cut out for him, has Flash, bigly. What the actual flip did the panel make of this one? How the actual flip can they improve upon the villain's dastardly scheme? And who the actual flip will be victorious in this week's competition?

Leaving China behind them, film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers head back to the African jungle for a vine-swinging adventure in 1999's Tarzan. And they're joined by Tarzan-stan (Tar-stan?) journalist Emily Murray, bringing her deep love of Phil Collins dad-rock bangers. There's much discussion of that drum-heavy soft-rock soundtrack, explorations of the Deep Canvas technology that brought the jungle to life, the deeply problematic original Tarzan mythology, and the film's eye-popping action sequences. Plus, Ben reminisces on the Tarzan game for Game Boy Color, Emily unveils her deep love of Lady & The Tramp, Sam digs into the reports that Brian Blessed provided the iconic Tarzan ‘yell' – and there's an extra special guest in Holmes The Cat. Strap in for the penultimate episode in the Renaissance Era!

Rerun. At a cost of £2m, Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical ‘Cats' premiered at the New London Theatre on 11th May, 1981 – and the world had never seen anything like it. With a cast including Brian Blessed and Elaine Paige, the original production was innovative, sexy, creepy, bizarre – and an enormous gamble for the impresarios who backed it. In this episode, Olly, Rebecca and Arion look back at the original reviews for the show, consider whether John Napier's award-winning costume design was actually incredibly lazy, and reveal how the show's signature song, ‘Memory', nearly didn't happen at all… Further reading: • Elaine Paige performs ‘Memory' in the original production: • Sue MacGregor interviews the cast and crew for Radio 4's ‘The Reunion': https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0008jyn • ‘Cats' – a timeline from London's Evening Standard: https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/theatre/cats-musical-history-a4439316.html ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?' Every Thursday is 'Throwback Thursday' on Today in History with the Retrospectors: running one repeat per week means we can keep up the quality of our independent podcast.

"Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!" We invited over Trek Culture's Seán Ferrick back on the podcast to watch the camp extraveganza Flash Gordon (1980). Like the renegade cousin strung out on psychedelics to George Lucas's more successful Star Wars Flash, Gordon is one of our favorite cult classics to come out of the early 1980s. Nobody knew how to put on a show like Italian movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis, and Flash Gordon has it all. Playgirl coverboy Sam J. Jones as our sincere beefcake protagonist, the wooden tour de force performance of Melody Anderson as Dale, Max von Sydow chewing the scenery as Emperor Ming the Merciless (culturally insenstive is an understatement here).  All political correctness aside, Flash Gordon is still a good time. We talk about Timothy Dalton doing the most with the least amount of character of the bunch, Brian Blessed playing his performance to the back row with his army of  harness clad Winged Hawk-Men. Not to mention the rocking score by Queen. This movie went onto be a huge inspiration to Seth McFarland, Taika Waititi, and Edgar Wright for it's insanly fun imagry.

Brian dominated the screen with his performance and we were very lucky to get the chance to speak to him. Now funding on Kickstarter: Agricola (the podcast miniseries). Guests: Brian Blessed Dr Rhiannon Evans (Associate Professor in Classics and Ancient History at La Trobe University).
